41-year-old Yang Yonglin has been studying the navy on a gunboat since he was 17 years old, and he has received the true biography of Admiral Xu Shoushan, and he is very familiar with everything in the navy.
He put down his pistol, pushed open the hatch, and rushed to the deck to see what was going on.
At this time, there were already soldiers on the deck jumping and cheering: "Our reinforcements are coming!" ”
"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?" Of course, Yang Yonglin knew that the Beiyang Fleet was already the most powerful fleet of the Qing court, and it concentrated eighty percent of the warship strength that the entire Qing court had bought abroad, so where could any warships come to the rescue at this time?
A sharp-eyed sailor climbed to the mast and looked through a telescope, and immediately found the answer: "It's not reinforcements from the imperial court, but the Huaxia Army fleet in the South Seas!" ”
"It's them, our fellow brothers of the same culture as us, who came to save us at a critical moment!"
"The Huaxia Army fleet is here! We are saved! ”
Many people on Liugong Island burst into tears when they heard that the world-shaking Huaxia Army fleet was coming.
Yang Yonglin once went to the South China Sea with the Beiyang Fleet, met Hu Zhen, and more or less paid attention to the achievements of the Huaxia Military Fleet, in the past few years, the Huaxia Military Fleet defeated the Netherlands, defeated Spain, and defeated the United States three times, and his reputation shook the world, which made him extremely envious.
Under the leadership of Zheng Dingbang, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Joint Staff and commander of the main fleet, six battleships of the Huaxia fleet, the Dahua, Daxia, Carlos V, Brooklyn, Chang'an, and Changzhi, as well as 25 cruisers and 18 destroyers, a total of 49 warships, appeared on the sea surface of Weihaiwei.
At this moment, the combined fleet of the Japanese army participated in the siege of the Beiyang Naval Division in Weihaiwei, which can be said to have come from all over the country, with a total of fifty-two ships:

The torpedo boat fleet consisted of 24 torpedo boats.
Although the number of ships of the combined fleet of the Japanese army is three more than that of the Huaxia fleet, the quality is actually incomparable at all, not to mention that the Japanese army does not have a single battleship, and even the cruisers of the Huaxia army are not comparable to the Japanese army:
According to the displacement of the two sides, the tonnage of the Japanese fleet was less than half of that of the Huaxia fleet.
According to the comparison of the firepower projected at one time and the speed of firepower projection, the Japanese fleet was only one-third of the fleet of the Huaxia Army.
According to the speed ratio, it is even more of a cup, all the battleships of the Huaxia Army have a speed of more than 17 knots, and the cruisers have a speed of more than 19 knots, which is one of the four knife-class cruisers completed at the Pontianak Shipyard half a year ago, with a displacement of 6,800 tons, a speed of 24 knots, and two with a total of 6 210 mm caliber main guns, none of which can be compared with any warship in the Japanese army.
The Huaxia Army also has two secret stunts: a three-meter baseline optical fire control ranging command instrument and a wireless audio radio, which completely defeated the Japanese army.
If Hu Zhen had come in person and used the shelling data link on the nuclear submarine, the Japanese army would not even be a scumbag.
It's just that according to Hu Zhen's order, in order to deal with the possible sudden intervention of the fleets of England, Oros, France and other countries, two battleships and five cruisers must be left in the Huaxia fleet as battlefield reserves to deal with the worst situation that may suddenly appear.
However, with the current strength of the Japanese army, it is not the opponent of the Huaxia fleet, which still has one-third of its combat strength and must be watched from the sidelines.
When Yang Yonglin ran to the deck to watch, it was the Huaxia Army Fleet that released a burst of air cannons before seeing the Japanese fleet on the sea level, the purpose of which was to make the officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division support it after hearing it, and not to do the wrong thing of being confused and hated for eternity.
Although the Huaxia Army was late and did not save the generals who committed suicide and martyrdom such as Ding Ruchang, Lin Taizeng, and Liu Buyun, they saved the life of Yang Yonglin, who Xi Langweili, the chief instructor of the Beiyang Naval Division, called "Oriental Nelson", and even saved the Beiyang Naval Division, which was about to lose the whole army and surrender to the Japanese army in humiliation.
"The Huaxia fleet is here?" The commander of the combined fleet of the Japanese army, Ito Shoyou, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he knew that with the strength of the combined fleet at this time, the chances of winning against the Huaxia fleet were very slim.
However, Ito Hyungyou's head is very good, and in the midst of emergency, he quickly came up with a very brazen solution: "Immediately send an envoy to the Huaxia Army to communicate, solve the problem through negotiation, and try to delay time even if it can't be delayed!" ”
The Kitty Hawk, the fastest torpedo boat of the Japanese army, galloped out, and the Saikyo Maru, who was in charge of guarding the perimeter, came to the front of the Huaxia fleet and waved a banner asking for a face-to-face meeting with the commander of the Huaxia fleet.
